This year’s spring break camp theme was “Survivor!”
Campers learned survival skills through fun challenges and mini-adventures. The week ended with “s’mores” around a campfire . . . campers grappled with questions like:
- Where will we be able to find food and water?
- How can we find a place to stay warm and dry?
- How can we work as a team to make a fire, create a camp, build a shelter?
Throughout the week, campers have been having a really fun week with lots of outdoor activities, free time, game time and survivor projects! During the first half of the week, they have:
- Created sun catchers
- Built bird houses
- Created shelters
- Made “boo-boo” butterflies
- Played labyrinth
- Built and tested solar stills to collect clean water (the cold weather, these are challenging, but we keep checking!)
- Learned about first aid and worked as teams through various first aid scenarios
- Shared campfire riddles and played Pictionary
During the second half of the week, campers have:
- Designed and built survival rafts and boats
- Had a contest to see whose boat or raft could hold the most wooden blocks
- Built survival shelters (forts!)
- Played “choose your own adventure”
- Created weather art with salt and watercolors
- Navigated our way to s’mores!
Thank you all for trusting us with your children this week. We had a great time and really enjoyed this group! Stay tuned for details on next year’s camp the week-long theme!
